Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 medium bananas)
Mix-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Gently stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Let the bread cool in the pan until slightly warm or room temperature before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots for flavor and moisture. Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the bread tender. This bread can be customized with walnuts or peanut butter for added flavor.
